    A celebrated actor whose most astonishing role is his own lifeIn this startlingly candid and poignant memoir, the legendary Emmy Award?winning star of The Young and the Restless, America's #1 soap opera, chronicles his amazing life, from his birth in World War II Germany to his arrival in America to his work as a humanitarian and daytime superstar.For nearly four decades, fans have come to know and love the suave Victor Newman from The Young and the Restless. Yet few truly know the man behind the character, the supremely talented Eric Braeden. I'll Be Damned is the story of Eric's life?an uplifting tale of war, deprivation, determination, fame, and social commitment that spans from Nazi Germany to modern Hollywood. From the theatrical stage to the sets of The Rat Patrol, Titanic, and, of course, The Young and the Restless, among other films and television series, Braeden's career and journey have taught him invaluable life lessons about joy, heartbreak, fear, love, courage, and profound responsibility to the global community.Growing up as a young child in the years after Germany's defeat in World War II, Braeden knew very little about the atrocities of his parents' generation until he arrived in America?a discovery that horrified and transformed him. Trying to redress the wrongs of his homeland, he has dedicated his life to humanitarian causes, working to show the world that what we share as humans is far more important than what separates us.Told with openness, humor, heart, and raw vulnerability, I'll Be Damned reveals a man committed to making the world a better, more loving place, and is an inspiring testament to the goodness within us all.

And there are dangerous new surprises that have yet to roll in with the tide. . . .

  • von David St. John
    23,00 €

    A haunting and intimately observed new collection from David St. John, a poet of soaring imagination and passionate candorIn The Last Troubadour David St. John has given us a collection of new and selected poems of astonishing beauty that are precise and keenly reflective but also touched with sensuality and deep feeling. Nothing is too small to escape notice (in ?Guitar? St. John reflects on the beauty of that word) or too large to be explored?the suicide of a friend, the illness of a lover, or the texture of longing and desire. A sharp observer of landscapes within and without, St. John directs his empathetic gaze and vivid, inventive voice to investigating both the darkest and the most inspiring parts of being human?the small moments between friends and lovers as well as the groundswells that alter lives. At times lyrical, sometimes conversational, occasionally wry and playful, St. John's poetry reveals an expansive vision animated by ?intimacy and subtlety, and by a disturbing force, the work of an urgent sensibility and a true ear? (W. S. Merwin). The beauty, music, and artistry of David St. John's widely admired work is fully on display in this masterful collection.

  • von Carol Howard Merritt
    23,00 €

    An effective plan to help those suffering from wounds inflicted by the church find spiritual healing and a renewed sense of faith.Raised as a conservative Christian, minister and author Carol Howard Merritt discovered that the traditional institutions she grew up in inflicted great pain and suffering on others. Though she loved the spirituality the church provided, she knew that, because of sexism, homophobia, and manipulative religious politics, established religious institutions weren't always holy or safe. Instead of offering refuge, these institutions have betrayed people's hearts and souls. ?People have suffered religious abuse,? she writes, ?which can be different from physical injury or psychological trauma.?Though participation and affiliation in traditional religious institutions is waning, many people still believe in God. Merritt contends that many leave the church because they have lost trust in the institution, not in God. Healing Spiritual Wounds addresses the church's dichotomous image?as a safe space and as a dangerous place?and provides a way to restore personal faith and connection to God for those who have been hurt or betrayed by established institutions of faith. Merritt lays out a multistage plan for moving from pain to spiritual rebirth, from recovering theological and emotional shards to recovering communal wholeness. Merritt does not sugarcoat the wrongs institutions long seen as trustworthy have inflicted on many innocent victims. Sympathetic, understanding, and deeply positive, she offers hope and a way to help them heal and reclaim the spiritual joy that can make them whole again.

Best of all, most dishes can be made with a can opener, a microwave, and less than thirty minutes?because I'd rather spend my time with my crazy family than spend hours at the stove.I'm not gonna lie: Going gluten-free ain't easy, but there's no reason it can't be delicious. Just because you're a redneck doesn't mean you can't eat well!Featuring over 100 gluten-free recipes, including:Flatbed's Peanut Butter and Jelly French ToastBone Daddy Biscuits 'n' GravySunday Service Moonshine Pound CakeLate-Night TwinkiesBourbon Sweet Potato SurpriseRepo Ronnie's SpareribsMississippi Mud BarsHush-up Spicy Hush Puppies

    A People Magazine and POPSUGAR pick! “[May''s] adventures illuminate the world of intrepid female artists in the late 1800s […] The Other Alcott comes alive in its development of the relationship between Louisa and May.”  --The New York TimesElise Hooper’s debut novel conjures the fascinating, untold story of May Alcott—Louisa’s youngest sister and an artist in her own right.We all know the story of the March sisters, heroines of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. But while everyone cheers on Jo March, based on Louisa herself, Amy March is often the least favorite sister. Now, it’s time to learn the truth about the real “Amy”, Louisa’s sister, May. Stylish, outgoing, creative, May Alcott grows up longing to experience the wide world beyond Concord, Massachusetts. While her sister Louisa crafts stories, May herself is a talented and dedicated artist, taking lessons in Boston, turning down a marriage proposal from a well-off suitor, and facing scorn for entering what is very much a man’s profession. Life for the Alcott family has never been easy, so when Louisa’s Little Women is published, its success eases the financial burdens they’d faced for so many years. Everyone agrees the novel is charming, but May is struck to the core by the portrayal of selfish, spoiled “Amy March.” Is this what her beloved sister really thinks of her? So May embarks on a quest to discover her own true identity, as an artist and a woman. From Boston to Rome, London, and Paris, this brave, talented, and determined woman forges an amazing life of her own, making her so much more than merely “The Other Alcott.”“Elise Hooper’s thoroughly modern debut gives a fresh take on one of literature’s most beloved families. To read this book is to understand why the women behind Little Women continue to cast a long shadow on our imaginations and dreams. Hooper is a writer to watch!”—Elisabeth Egan, author of A Window Opens
